[p=21, 2, left]Can a [b]diet[/b] of eating only potatoes for 60 days be good for you?[/p][p=21, 2, left]This is precisely what one American man has done in order to "remind the public about the [b]nutritional value[/b] of potatoes."[/p][p=21, 2, left]Chris Voight, a 45-year-old from Washington, has eaten nothing but 20 potatoes every day for the last two months.[/p][p=21, 2, left]As Head of the Washington State Potato Commission, he's trying to[b]debunk perceptions[/b] that potatoes are unhealthy and instead are a good source of [b]fibre[/b], [b]potassium[/b] and vitamin C.[/p]

[p=21, 2, left]So, how has the diet affected his health?[/p][p=21, 2, left]He said: "I've been struggling being [b]borderline [/b][b]high cholesterol[/b]for four or five years. I absolutely feel great. I've always had lots of good energy on this diet, I've had no strange [b]side effects[/b], I sleep well at night."[/p][p=21, 2, left]Mr Voight also claimed to have lost 1.5 [b]stone[/b] (10 kilos) since beginning the diet.[/p][p=21, 2, left]He accepted that a diet of just potatoes was not [b]sustainable[/b] in the long term but said his experiment had shown how "truly healthy" the vegetable is.[/p][p=21, 2, left]"I'm not encouraging anyone to go on this crazy diet, nor would my doctor. This diet was just a [b]bold statement[/b] to remind people that there is a lot of nutrition in a potato."[/p][p=21, 2, left]So what is Mr Voight planning to eat once freed from his [b]self-imposed[/b]diet?[/p][p=21, 2, left]"I think my first meal is going to be a [b]spicy beef taco[/b], a glass of milk, a[b]crunchy[/b] apple, and yes… [b]roasted potatoes[/b]."[/p][p=21, 2, left]In 2003, American [b]filmmaker[/b] Morgan Spurlock [b]embarked[/b] on a McDonald's-only diet for a whole month in order to investigate the health effects on the body. While filming Super Size Me he gained 1.7 stone (11 kilos) and also experienced [b]depression[/b] and [b]lethargy[/b].[/p][/size][/font][/color]
